GENERAL
MESSAGES FOR IROSUN MEJI CHILDREN DURING ITEFA OR IKOSEDAYE
The
children of Irosun meji have the ability to rise from the grass to grace
and remain at the very top of their chosen careers for the rest of their lives.
Ifa is always giving them support because they are children of Orunmila
from the heaven . When the sons of Irosun-Meji succeed, their successes are
always beyond anyone's imagination. In fact the real children of Irosun-Meji
are not known as a failure in life. They also live long and happy.
Irosun-Meji
children are nevertheless known for their selfishness and egotism. But Ifa says
that if they can discard this attitude and embrace taking care of others
considering their affairs and well-being, Ifa himself would take care of their
lives and reward them abundantly. The children of Irosun-Meji excel in the
Heath and medicine fields such as being a Babalawo, Iyanifa,
doctor, nurse, psychotherapist, public relations officer, social psychologist,
social welfare officer, caring for unborn babies, elderly or aged people ,
mentally retarded ,helping people that are affected by disasters and
others. By doing this, they will have riches, recognition, honor, prestige,
stable homes, peace of mind, good physical and mental health and long life.
They must also do good to others, since they will never go unhappily and
without reward.
They
are very successful in business,but no matter how successful the children
of Irosun-Meji may be, or how much profit they can make, they are in the habit
of complaining that the situation is not good for them. Even when people show
them appreciation for whatever they do, they find it difficult to show
appreciation for others who have done good deeds for them or in
most cases be insincere in their appreciation. This attitude is born and
is difficult to change. The sons of Irosun-Meji are however advised to show
appreciation for the small favors made to them by Olodumare, the Deities and
their humans alike. If they do this, their lives will continue to improve and
their happiness, progress and success will know no limits.
It
is very easy for people to confuse the frankness, boldness and sincerity of the
sons of Irosun-Meji as weakness. People are therefore running away from them.
This can affect their business and financial opportunities but over time things
will surely change for the better and they will be able to realize their
ambitions.
The
children of Irosun-Meji are usually blessed with children. These children are
usually successful and important in the societies. There is one of those
children, however, who will be so strong and dominant that
the parents (that is, Irosun-Meji children) need to serve their Ori on his or
her behalf to gain resounding victory over any form of adversity be
it death, affliction, litigation, Lost, envious individuals, enemies, traitors
or witches / wizards. These children, when identified, need to be treated
specially and carefully. This does not to suggest that they should be
over spoiled at the expense of other children in the family. It is respectable
to note that the fate of this child (Ori) however would protect each member of
the Irosun-Meji family.
The
children of Irosun-Meji have the ability to survive where others have died, to
succeed where others have failed and to gain where others have lost
deplorably. They also have the ability to help other people overcome the
miseries of life.
Those
who are born by this Odu need not to fight or argue about
any,inheritance, legacy since this is not in line with their destiny. Instead
they should always look for a friendly settlement to all their affairs
pertaining to material inheritances, especially land properties. If the
friendly arrangement fails, then the children of Irosun of Irosun-Meji are
then advised to get their hands off the matter.
SOME
IMPORTANT SACRED MESSAGES AND LESSON IN HOLY ODU IROSUN MEJI
This
aspect shall examine some important sacred messages in holy odu Irosun meji.
So.some lesson and commentaries on each stanza of Irosun meji will be explain
in detail.
I.
Ifa
warns a person or group to be wary and careful of any decisions or intentions
they may have to make unless they want to regret of their actions for the
rest of their lives. Ifa says there is an action they are about to take that
could lead to crying and gnashing of teeth. Ifa also warns the person for whom
this Odu is revealed to not do favors to those who may hurt them in the
end. The person or persons for whom this Odu is revealed has been advised
against this action but frankly refused to listen to the wise advice. Ifa says
that only regret will be the result of this action.
Ifa
advises that there exists the need to offer ebo with an adult goat and money
where this Odu is revealed. There is also the need to serve Esu Odara with a
rooster here. On this message Ifa has this to say:
A
ba mo, ki a o mon o se e
A
se’ku tan
Iku
d’ariwo
Dia
fun Ekute Ile
Ti
nlo ree fi Ologbo j’oye
Ebo
ni won ni ki won se
Translation:
If
we had known, we would not have embarked on this
After
exposing death
Death
became a commotion
Those
were the declarations of Ifa for Ekute-Ile, the Rat
When
he was going to honor Ologbo, the cat , with a title of chief
They
were advised to offer ebo
Ekute-Ile,
the Rat, was living in the house with humans. In fact, they outnumbered humans.
But they had a problem, Ologbo, the Cat usually came from the forest and
attacked and killed some of the mice in the house. Ologbo's incurring soon
became a major headache for the entire community of mice. They therefore met to
find a lasting solution to their common problem.
During
their deliberations, they left with the ingenious plan to invite Ologbo into
the house where they lived. They also planned to give him a leadership title as
the leader and protector of all rats and other rodents. Their reasoning was
that if they did this, the Cat could no longer morally be justified to kill
them since they would be under his care and protection. They all complied with
this decision and they were very proud to have come away with this plan.
After
this, there was still another problem, such as convincing the human beings, the
owners of the houses so that they accepted Ologbo inside their houses. They
gathered courage and made their plan to invite the Cat . When they did the
humans told them that their ancestors recognized the Cats as enemies and that
they never flattered their friendship. They warned them that inviting the Cats
to live among them amounted to nothing but an invitation of calamity. All
the rats refused to listen. In the end, they had it their way.
They
went to invite the Cat to come and live with them at home with them. They would
confer the title of promised leadership. It was with pompous pomp that the Cats
went inside the house to live with the Mice.
The
same day the Cat came into the house, he broke into a commotion. He was in a
historic slaughter. He killed and killed and killed. It was as if the Cat could
not stop killing rats when he saw them. Before the year came to an end, the cat
had drastically reduced the population of the rats. The Cat went and brought
his forest colleagues into the house. From that day forward, the rats have not
known peace.
One
day, the Rat,went to the house of the humans to beg them to fire the Cat.
Humans told them that their petition could not be settled for two reasons; One,
since they allowed the Cats to enter their houses, the free destruction of
their clothes, food, furniture and others that had been perpetrated by the Mice
had been drastically reduced and secondly, the Rat had been warned so far
against Of the action they did but they refused. In the light of this
knowledge, they were told that, that's how to live with their misfortune. And
from that day until today, the Rat has never been able to learn how to live
with the Cat without the Rat suffering for it.

was advised to offer ebo
Egbe-Ope,
the backrest of the sacred palm tree, was coming to the world. He was about to
become Orunmila's son. Before his departure in heaven, he went to the Awo
mentioned above by consulting Ifa to determine what his chances of success
would be as long as he was on earth: Would he live a long life? Would he be
able to acquire all the good things in life? These questions and others were
what worried the mind of Egbe-Ope.
The
Awo assured him that he would live to his old age on earth. He was told that he
was going to be very rich and influential. He was also assured that he would be
able to acquire all the good things in life. He was informed however that his
chosen career by Olodumare was for becoming a Babalawo. If he could do this, he
was told that he would be extremely successful on earth. He was advised to
offer ebo with three pigeons and money. He was also told that he should feed
Ifa with an adult goat. He obeyed and prepared for his journey into the world.
Egbe-Ope
began to learn Ifa when he was just a child. By the time he was 20 years old,
he was well versed in the Art of Ifa. When he was asked by his father Orunmila,
to avail himself, he was already an accomplished Babalawo. He was known and
respected from far and near. He was very successful and was able to acquire the
good things of life; All through his reputation as a good Babalawo.

his chosen career. He or she is advised to adhere to and embrace Ifa.

life. He or she will surely have success in his life. Ifa however warns that
this person is in the habit of denying all the good things that Ifa has done
for him or her. No matter how successful he or she has been, he or she will
continue to claim that no improvement has occurred in their life. Ifa says this
is not good enough. The person for whom this Odu has been revealed needs to
assimilate the value of showing appreciation for those who have given them
assistance in one way or another.
Ifa
says this person needs to offer ebo with 3 white doves and money. He or she
also needs to be more appreciative. On this, Ifa says:

This
was the ifa divined for the Eko seller of the town of Idere
Who
would become rich before the night
She
was advised to offer ebo.
Idere
was a very popular city in the day of the old .This city was the center of many
activities in the Yoruba land. The population of this city was also of
reasonable size, compared with other cities of the time in particular. There
was however this woman in the city who was selling eko, maize flour. She was
very popular in the city, but she was always complaining that her sales were
not moving as they should be. Consequently, she went to the Awo group mentioned
above for Ifa consultation. The Awo told her that her sales would improve. She
was advised to offer ebo as was previously prescribed. She obeyed. After this,
she was advised to cultivate the habit of exercising patience all the time. She
was told not to wait for her eko to go immediately, she was prepared because
she would still be very hot at the time, rather for her to have the patience to
cool it down so that it would get hard and nice for people to buy it And
eat it. She was also told to be careful that when she began to make a profit,
she should not deny or hide the blessings of Ifa. After this she went home.
A
few days later she offered the ebo; Her sales rose, she usually prepared a
basket full of eko and sold them for three days. After the ebo, she was selling
five eko baskets daily. Then it increased to 12, and then to 16 full baskets.
Before long, she began to put on new clothes. At that point she would wear a
black sheath, a red blouse, she would wear white helmets and use a green back
to tie the dress - all new. His shoes and purses were usually the latest
fashion. However, when someone approached her, she was complaining that her
sales had not improved.
One
day, his complaints were so many that the Awo who assisted him in offering the
ebo decided to pay her a visit. When they did, they discovered that she had
really changed and that the manifestation of wealth was all around her, and yet
she complained bitterly that what they did for her had not worked. The Awo left
with the determination to teach her a little lesson.
The
next day, the Awo accompanied his students to his sales position with agogo and
drum and then began to sing:

this Odu is revealed. Ifa says he or she will not miss any Ire(good
things) in life. Ifa advises him or her to offer ebo with 2 pigeons, 2
hens, 2 guineas, 2 roosters, 4 rats, 4 fish and money. About this Ifa says:

The
rod of early torrential rain which infuriates the rich
When
he was crying for his inability to secure all the ire in life
He
was advised to offer ebo
Oniweere,
the Oba of the town of Iwere was a very poor Oba. Apart from the fact that he
was the Oba of his city, he had nothing to show in terms of achievement - no
money, no wife, no children, no authority, and no good health. In fact, he was
the clown of his subjects. He was never taken seriously in anything he said.
His directives were simply ignored. Tired of this, he went to the two Babalawos
mentioned above for consultation of Ifa: Would he be able to command the
respect of his subjects? Will he be prosperous in life? Would he have the
wives of his? Were his wives capable of giving him children so that he could
leave heirs behind when he died? Would he be in good health? would he
live long time?
The
two Awos assured Oniweere that he would be blessed with all the good things in
life. He was told that victory would be beyond his wildest dreams. He was
advised to offer ebo as advised above. Oniweere fought to get all the materials
of the ebo together and the Awo offered the ebo for him. He was advised to go
home and see what ifa had kept for him. He obeyed.
Shortly
after this, he discovered that all his officers who had hitherto abandoned the
palace were coming to pay their daily homage. Then all the villas attached to
the city were coming to pay their tribute to him. He soon became rich. Some of
his officers arranged wives for him. He got married to these women and then his
wives gave birth to several children for him. His palace was renovated by his
subjects.his health improved. He was given a horse for his personal use. He
lived a long time on the throne of his ancestors. By the time he died, he was
an Oba actually satisfied.

says that all good things in life will be given to the person for whom this Odu
is revealed. He or she was not destined to miss any Ire in life.
LESSON
AND COMMENTARIES FROM ODU IFA IROSUN MEJI ABOVE
*.
No matter how worse is human life, he or she can redeem it and work on through
spiritual guidance by proper ifa consultation as see in the case of Oba the
poor Oba above who later become rich.
V.
ifa
says that for the person for whom this Odu is revealed he must be taking care
of the affairs of other people more than his or hers. Ifa says that if he or
she can do this, then Ifa himself will be caring for his or her own affairs.
Ifa says that the person for whom this Odu is revealed will be properly cared
for by Ifa. But he or she is expected to take care of other people. The more
you do this, the more opportunities it is for you to be protected and spoiled
by Ifa. People like this are very good in the field of hospitality like
medicine, public relations, and help in establishments of homes for
children without mothers, for the elderly, mentally retarded and the like.
However,
there is a need to offer ebo with 2 pigeons, 2 guineas and money. He or she
also needs to feed Ifa with a hen and palm oil. About this Ifa says:
Akuko
f’ogbe lebelebe se’yi
Dia
fun Opiliki
Ti
yoo fi tire sile
Ti
yoo maa gbo ti eni eleni kiri aye
Ebo
ni won ni ko se
Translation:
The
rooster uses his crest to add to his honor
This
was the Ifa divined for Opiliki
Who
left their own affairs
And
he was taking care of everyone's problems
He
was advised to offer sacrifice
Opiliki
was always making sure that, other people were comfortable. He usually settle
fights and misunderstandings, fed the poor, assisted the disabled, and
gave to the needy. He could be hungry for days just to assist others. While he
was doing these things, some people began to abuse him as someone who was not
interested in his affairs. Some saw him as a person who loved to stick his nose
into what was not his business. Yet others saw him as an intruder. Soon his
relatives began to warn him to leave the people calm with their problems and
face their own.
To
know what are the steps to follow in his life without making mistakes, he went
to the Awo mentioned above for consultation of Ifa: Was he doing the right
thing? Was there any hope for him in this? Did he need to change and face his
own problems? What was Ifa's position on what he was doing? The Awo told him
that he should continue to help the people and Ajagunmale himself would pay him
all his good deeds. He was counseled against listening to slanders and talkers
in the back as they could only guide him in the wrong way. He was advised to
offer ebo as previously prescribed. He did it.
Before
long, he was blessed with all the good things in life. He had wealth, a stable
home, peace of mind, happiness, good health and long life. He was then singing,
dancing and giving praises to Ifa and Olodumare:
Akuko
f’ogbe lebelebe se’yi

yoo maa gbo ti eni eleni kiri aye

obeyed
Now,
who will help me improve my destiny?
Orunmila,
my father, also known as Erigi-Alo, was the one who helped me to repair and
improve my destiny.
Ifa
says that Orunmila himself will help the person for whom this Odu is revealed
to form his destiny for the better. Ifa also says that Ajagunmale, the Oluwo in
the heavens will be taking care of his house in his absence. He or she needs to
contuinue doing the good since the reward for this is guaranteed. He or she
will never regret those actions in life. The Deities are on your side.
LESSON
AND COMMENTARIES FROM THE STANZA OF ODU IFA IROSUN MEJI ABOVE
*.Olodumare
is always in charge to take good care of any body solving the problem of others
and the society. Always endeavor to be good and kind. Ifa emphasis reward for
it.
VI.
Ifa
says that all the Ajogun living in the house of the person for whom this Odu is
revealed will go away. Ifa says that these problems would have gone away long
ago but because of the lack of competition from the Awo who has been handling
the case or due to the perversity of a complete mischief, the problems still
persist. Ifa says that they were the materials they have been using to serve
Ifa which have not made the problem subside. Ifa says that they should not feed
Ifa any live animal or bird which involves putting the blood in Ifa to feed
him. By doing this, Ifa says the Ajogun will leave. Irosun-Meji is an Odu which
abhors blood.
Care
should therefore be taken to ensure that as much as possible, blood is avoided
in this Ifa. A statement in this Odu in support of this assertion says:
Aja

warns the Awo here not to cause an avoidable problem or to perpetuate one
because of their own greed and lack of consideration for the feelings and
sufferings of others. Ifa warns to give up these acts, unless he wants to meet
the wrath of the Deities.
LESSON
AND COMMENTARIES FROM STANZA OF IROSUN MEJI ABOVE
Babalawo
or any body tryin to help other should be very honest and demand only what ifa
instructed.preisthood is a altruistic selfless service to humanity. And the
exact item require by ifa is what will solve the problem of the client. Demand
for more than what is prescribed by ifa won't do.
VII.
Ifa
says that he foresees the gift of a son for the person for whom this Odu is
revealed. Ifa says that it is essential to know what materials are to be used
as ebo materials here and at the same time to know the number to use to achieve
the required result. Ifa says that if this can be done, the woman for whom this
Odu is revealed will be blessed with a bouncy baby.
Ifa
says that this woman needs to offer ebo to be able to conceive with 6 bats and
money. The moment this is done, Ifa will bless this woman with a baby. A stanza
in this Odu puts emphasis on this aspect saying:
Ada
f’owo fe’ju ewon
Dia

Igba

He
was the Awo who cast Ifa for Onidere
One
who offer bat as ebo to conceive children
When
he was lamenting for his inability to have children
He
was advised to offer ebo
Onidere
was the Oba of the town of Idere. He had many wives, he was strong and popular,
but he had no children. None of his wives had ever conceived at any time.
He therefore called the Awo mention earlier to consult Ifa to be able to
determine what he needed to do so his wives would be Preganant.
When
the Awo arrived at the palace of Onidere, Ifa was consulted. The Awo told him
that his wives would become pregnant and they would give birth to many
children. He was advised to offer ebo with 6 bats and money. When Onidere heard
this, he was very angry because he had been instructed to offer ebo with a bat
several times without success. The Awo however explained to him that his
various ebo had not been accepted for the correct number of materials had not
been used. He advised Onidere to buy six bats at the same time, and to wait for
the result. Onidere did. The ebo was offered. He did it for each of his wives.
Three
months later, Onidere's wives became pregnant and they all had safe deliveries.
Onidere became a proud father of several children in a year. He was then
praising his Awo for a job well done.

The person will not leave this world without he or she he or she having
their own child.
LESSON
AND COMMENTTARIES ON THE STANZER OF IROSUN MEJI ABOVE
*.
Persistence and perseverance is key to success, this is what Oba Onideere
exhibit. Even when he has make sacrifices with bat many time without success,
he still continue to try, until he meets Awo who advised him to offer six bat.
He give a trial again wish give him success.
*.Knowing
and confirming the precise number of items to use for ebo or any other things
we want to do is essential to achieve desires success.
VIII.
Ifa
warns the person to whom this Odu is revealed to give up his plan to take
another man's wife and if he has already done so, he needs to return the wife
to his owner unless he wants to meet the Terrible consequences. Ifa says that
the husband of the woman he tries to snatch is more powerful and ruthless than
him. If he loves his life, he needs to give up his plan. If he refuses to
listen to this warning. Ifa says he will live to regret this action for the
rest of his life.
Ifa
says that the person in question is of clear complexion while the husband of
the woman that he tries to snatch is of dark complexion. Ifa also warns a woman
who tries to escape from her husband's house to the house of another man
should not not do that in his best interest. Ifa says that the
person with whom she plans to escape could end up losing his life and she will
be blamed for the disaster because of the relationship with the deceased.
Ifa
says that the person who tries to snatch the wife of another man needs, in
addition to giving up this act, offer ebo with an adult goat and money. On this
his, Ifa says:
Esin
nii sare katapa katapa wo’lu
Eeyan
mi o mo irin okunkun ni ririn
Dia

Ti
nlo ree fe Jojolo, omo Olodumare
Ebo

Translation:
Esin,
the Horse, is the one who rides towards the city
My
relation does not know how to Walk in the dark
These
were the declarations of Ifa For Ina, the Fire
When
he was going to snatch Jojolo, the daughter of Olodumare
He
was advised to offer ebo
The
lady in question was an extremely beautiful woman. She had soft, delicate skin.
Her skin was so soft and delicate that one could easily confuse her with that
of a newborn. His face had the innocent appearance of an infant. She looked
much younger than she really was for her age. As a result of those attributes.
Those who knew her believed that she was some kind of siren. To crown her all,
she came from a highly acclaimed family. For this reason people were
close to her called Jojolo Omo Olodumare, meaning, the newborn daughter
Olodumare, she was well loved and respected by everyone in the community.
When
she was old enough to marry, many suitors wanted her to be their wife.
In the end, she managed to marry Ojo, the Rain Forest. He was a man of dark
complexion.
He
was generous and he did not discriminate when he wanted to give water to a
community. He used to give to friends and enemies alike. Its
influence spread to all corners of the world. He was also very powerful and was
renowned for being ruthless and destructive whenever he chose to be. His
cruelty was equally recognized by all.
When
Jojolo married with Ojo, everyone in the community was happy. They thought that
serious would be the perfect match. Unknown to most people however, Jojolo was
never a faithful woman. From the moment she married Ojo, she had been dating
Ina, the Fire, regularly. At one point, Ina and Jojolo planned to escape
together and start a new life elsewhere. When they concluded their plan they
went to the Awo group mentioned above for Ifa consultation.
The
Awo warned Ina never to do what he had in mind. They told him that he could not
do anything in secret so that others would not notice. They said that even in
the dark, there was no place for Ina to go that the others could not see him.
In the light of this knowledge, therefore, escaping with Jojolo was an exercise
in uselessness. He was also warned that Jojolo's husband, Ojo, was more
powerful than him and that if he carried out his plan, he risked losing his
life in the process. Ina was also advised to offer ebo with a mature goat as
ebo against calamity for having contemplated committing such an act of
immorality.
When
Ina heard all this, he got up angry. He told the Awo that he would never offer
the ebo as they had prescribed it. Not only that, he jumped to snatch Jojolo
from his husband. He said that he was not afraid of his husband since he, Ina,
was a very powerful person as well. He claimed that he was more ruthless and
more destructive than Ojo. He said that nothing and nobody dared to cross his
path. He asked Jojolo to go out and pack all his essential things as they would
be moving on a brief notice. Jojolo did it.
On
the day of their departure, they thought that what they were doing secretly had
been exposed to everyone they met with, Ina, the Fire, was sending
enlightenment for all to see.
When
people realized what Ina was fleeing with Jojolo, Ojo's wife, they went and
alerted Ojo. Rain was furious that someone dared do that to him. He fled
in search of Ina. When he saw Ina, he caught up with him in a fierce battle.
Before long, it was clear that the battle was one-sided since Ina was no match
for Ojo. Within a few minutes, Ina was a shame, it was too late to make a deal.

Ifa
warns the woman not to cause the death of her lover as a result of her
infidelity. Ifa also warns anyone who concerns him in this Odu to be faithful
and sincere to his loved ones.
.COMMENTARIES
AND LESSON TO FROM THE ODU IROSUN MEJI
*In
this stanza Ifa make it clear that infidelity in marriage can lead to death of
either one or both who are involved. Like the case of what happened to ina in
the stanzer above.
*.Obedience
to divine instruction and wise counsel is essential to have a break through in
life and avoidance of catastrophe in life.
*.It
is unwise for clay image to attempt to swim in water it will be dismantled. so
it unwise to struggle with one superior both in Power, knowledge and resources.
as Yoruba will always say 'eni to be ju ni lo 'le ju ni danu ' he
who is stronger than you both in knowledge and influence can use them against
you.
IX.
Ifa
says that the Ori of the person for whom this Odu is revealed will help him or
her. The person is in a state of confusion. He or she needs guidance, help and
protection. Ori is going to provide all this to this person for whom this Odu
was revealed. No Orisa, Egungun or Irunmole can do this more than their Ori.
Consequently, there is a need for this person to offer ebo with 2 pigeons, 2 ducks
2 guineas and money. He or she also needs to venerate his Ori with a white
dove, a guinea, a duck and money. If all this can be done, the life of this
client will change for the better. About this Ifa says:

his life; The type of woman to marry and be a happy man; The kind of children
he would have in his life; How long would he live on earth; The positions he
would occupy in life; and else. He had gone to feed several Deities and Egungun
but his confusion was still there. One day, he decided to take his affair to
the Babalawo mentioned above for consultation of Ifa.
The
Awo told him that he was a confused man. They said that what was causing this
confusion could not be attended by any Orisa, Irunmole or Egungun. Rather, it
was his Ori who would help him solve his problems and shed light on his life.
The Awo posed even more, that what he wanted to know was what his destiny had
chosen for him from heaven and how to make sure to follow the path of his
destiny. He was advised to offer ebo with 2 pigeons, 2 guineas, 2 ducks and
money. He was also asked to serve his Ori with a white dove, a guinea, a duck
and money. He obeyed.
The
Awo explained to him that he was destined to be prosper, he would have
peace of mind and he would be honored. He was told that his Ori would guide him
to where he would be able to fulfill his destiny.
When
he returned home, he did the business and was successful. He married and was
blessed with many children. His wives took good care of him.
He
bought a horse for his use. He lived a long time and a very happy man. He

will show you how to get out of the dilemma and confusion.

They
were the Awos who cast Ifa for Igba
When
he was going to Oyo On Ifa business
He
was advised to offer ebo
Igba
was a very prominent Babalawo. He was known for his competence and ability to
diagnose problems and provide solutions. Good; When the inhabitants of the city
of Oyo were experiencing a series of problems ranging from lack of children,
economic decay and stagnation, failed crops, emotional instability to the inner
effort, they summoned Igba to consult Ifa. They asked Him to come to their city
with the intention of making there permanent residence.
When
Igba received the message however, he went to the Awo mentioned above for
consultation of Ifa. How would my stay in Oyo come to be? Would he be
able to realize his full potential in Oyo? Was he going to be respected
there? Would history give him a place in Oyo? Would the inhabitants of the city
of Oyo appreciate all the good things he would do for them? These and many
other questions worried Igba's mind when he went for Ifa consultation .
The
Awo informed Igba that he was going to be very successful in the city of Oyo:
that he would be able to realize his full potential there; That he would be
highly respected and honored; That the inhabitants of Oyo would appreciate all
the good things that he did for them; And that his name would be written in
gold by history. He was however warned that initially he would experience
deprivation in his proposal, but after some time, there would be no end.
Igba
was advised to offer ebo with abundant okro, garden egg , 2 pigeons and money.
He obeyed. Shortly after, the party on his trip to the city of Oyo.
While
in Oyo, meeting the inhabitants of this city with a series of problems. They
were poor due to an poor crop, they were sick because of the expectation and
they were unhappy. Igba went into action immediately; As he was consulting Ifa
for them individually, so he was doing it in group and even doing the same for
the city in general. As he was offering ebo, at the same time he was offering
etutu and offering Ipese for the evening elders. After all this was done,
everyone waited to see the result of their efforts.
Meanwhile,
Igba himself was facing the problem of eating, drinking and dressing. He was
well aware of the problems of the inhabitants of Oyo. Not to add to his charges
therefore, he moved to a small villa. He grew a small farm and was living
there. He kept a low profile in this villa. He was totally determined to endure
all the deprivations he was already experiencing in the village because ifa had
already said to him that such things would happen to him initially would be his
part, before the situation changed for the better.
In
Oyo, however, the situation began to change for the better, there was abundant
torrential rain, farm products and crops improved, the inhabitants had
leftovers that year, which made the economy better. With an improved economy,
there was a better and stronger bargaining power. People concentrated on the
work of their farms and in other businesses such as crafts, commerce and
others, thus reducing the lack of employment. This gave them less time to plan
against their leaders, thereby reducing internal conflicts. Before long, there
were smiles on everyone's faces.
One
day, the inhabitants of Oyo gathered in front of the market of the Oba. They
were so happy and they began to celebrate. They sang, danced and praised
Olodumare. They decided that they should send people to look for Igba who had
made it possible for them to experience progress in their community. So they
sent people with Ifa to go and bring Igba to Oyo. The emissary was accompanied
by new dresses, caps and new sandals for Igba to wear when he left for the
city. The delegates left for the town where Igba was living.
Igba
was however working on his farm. From the time they spotted him, they began to
play the agogo and were singing this:
Itaruku
ta
Itaruku
ta
Rukuruku
tataata
Oyo
nile o
Igba,
emi lo wa d’oko o?
Translation:
Itaruku
ta
Itaruku
ta
Rukuruku
tataata
Oyo

Igba,
what are you looking for in the farm?
They
were dancing and singing. Igba, hearing what they were singing, threw his hoe
and joined them. They told them that the city had asked them to go and bring it
to him. They explained to him that everything had changed for the better as he
had predicted. They asked him to go and take this bath so they
could return to Oyo that same day. When he told them that he did not have a
good dress to wear, they all burst into laughter and gave him the dress they
had brought from Oyo for him. It was the only material used for senior officers
and other successful businessmen in Oyo. Igba was delighted and surprised. They
returned to Oyo that night.
In
Oyo, Igba was made the resident Babalawo of the Oba of Oyo. He was well
recognized in Oyo. To this day, no one has forgotten what he did for them, so
his place in history was guaranteed.
LESSON
AND COMMENTARIES ON THE ON THE STANZA OF IROSUN MEJI ABOVE
*.
One thing to first learn is important of seeking direction or what the
future hold. this is what Igba practice and it worked for him.
*.
Patience and dedication is essential, this is what Igba exhibit. He work
spiritually for people of Oyo even though they have no money. He still do the
work whole heatedly.
*.It
is good thing to show appreciation and give desires reward and accolades to any
people who have divinely help us.

Translation:
The
face of Olosun-Meji was merely ininvitable
As
a person who has evil inside
But
Irosun-Meji does not harbor malice against anyone
These
were the Ifa divination for Irosun-Meji
When
he regretted his inability to acquire Ire in life
He
was advised to Offer ebo
As
a Babalawo Olosun-Meji was well trained. The passage through all the rudimentary
and highly esoteric aspects of the Orunmila training itself. At the end of his
training, he came out as one of Orunmila's top 16 deciphers. In spite of this
however, Irosun-Meji had nothing to show for it - he had no money, wife,
children, own house, no peace of mind, no satifaction, no respect in the
community, no friends, etc. He was indeed a very sad man. Many people fled from
him because they considered him an evil man. They believed that he could hurt
them if they approached him because his face was hard and uninvitable.
One
day, as Olosun-Meji was brooding over his life, he came to the conclusion that
if the situation continued the way he was going, he would surely die like a sad
and dissatisfied man. Determined to change this, he went to the group of Awo
mentioned above For consultation of Ifa; Why was his life the way he was?
Was he destined to live and die like a poor man? Was he doing something wrong
that made people flee from him? What could he do to change his life for the better
and change his destiny?
The
Awo told him that he was meant to be great in life. He told him that his
chosen career was the greatest and most renumerant of all profesion.they told
him that his main problems were two doubles: one, people were afraid to approach
him because they considered him a bad person who could inflict serious harm on
them if they approached him; Two, he had no satisfaction or peace of mind. He
was told that his appearance towards people felt that he was bad but that Ifa
said he did not harbor any bad feelings towards anyone. He was also told that
he needed to offer ebo and feed Ifa so that the attitude
Of
people towards him could change for the better and so that he could have peace
of mind and satisfaction. Ifa said that if this could be done, the problem he
complains of would solve and he would be highly respected for its value.
He
was advised to offer ebo with a large pig and money. He was advised to feed
Ifa with palm oil and shea butter mixed together and use them to serve
Ifa. To get the money with which to buy the ebo materials became a serious
problem. Eventually he did. All that was done. He began to wait for what Ifa
would do for him.
Immediately
after offering the ebo, Esu Odara came out in the form of a man asking the people
to go to Irosun-Meji's house that he was a very competent Babalawo. He
convinced all those who had reservations against Irosun-Meji and told them that
only Irosun-Meji could solve their problems. Those who felt that Irosun-Meji
was an evil man soon began to change their opinions towards him. Before long
his house became a beehive of activities. He acquired several students who were
assisting him. Soon after this, he got a wife of his taste and after some time,
his wife gave birth to children for him. He became a respectable member of
Idere where he was living. He was indeed a happy and satisfied man. He was then
singing and dancing and giving praises or Olodumare and his Awo.

COMMENTRIES
OR LESSON FROM ODU IFA IROSUN MEJI Above
*.When
things are bad divine guidance such as seeking ifa consultation and carrying
out prescribed ebo is neccesary.
*.It
can also be deduce from the odu ifa above that we should not judge a book by
its cover. Appearance is often deceptive. Some bad looking people can be good,
why some good looking people can be bad.
XII.
Ifa
says that it foresees the victory over Death, Affliction, Litigation and Loss
for the person for whom this Odu is revealed. Ifa says that this person needs
to give to venerate the Ori of his son because it is the Ori of this
child that will help him to defeat his adversary. If the person for whom this
Ifa is revealed has more than one child, then there is the need for the Awo to
find among his children to which he refers.
Ifa
says that even though all these Ajogune have already surrounded this person,
they will not have the power to harm him, because the Ori of the son to which
Ifa refers, is simply very powerful.
Ifa
also says that the person for whom this Odu is revealed needs to take proper
care of all his children, biological or not, to love them and act in such a way
that those children will love him or her in return. This will bring you
happiness and progress and when problems come, the Ori of these children will stand
up in defense of him or her.
Ifa
says that there is a need for the person for whom this Odu is revealed to offer
ebo with 4 cocks and money. There is also the need to serve the Ori of your
child what Ifa prerscriba. The Awo needs to confirm with Ifa the specific thing
to be used to ensure its victory and protection. Of this, Ifa says:

Ifa says he will not allow this person for whom this Odu is revealed to fall
into the pit of death and misery. Ifa says that many people have fallen into
this pit and have found death prematurely, but this client will not fall into
it and if it eventually falls into the pit, it will be lined with something to
cushion the fall and he or she will be able to To survive the fall. So says
Ifa. Ifa says that because of the person for whom this Odu has been revealed,
the hollow of death and misery will be closed and no one will be harmed again.
Ifa
advises the person for whom this Odu is revealed to offer ebo with an adult
goat, enough cotton wool and money as ebo. If this can be done the problem will
be overcome. A stanza in this Odu supports this assertion saying:
Ara

He
was advised to offer ebo
Several
people had lost their lives within Ologbun-Ayiku, the hollow within which
people fall and die. One day, Ologbun-Ayiku went to his Babalawo to consult
Ifa: How could he stop people from falling into the gap? Would he be successful
in this bet? He was assured that the hollow in which people fell and died would
become a hollow in which people would fall and survive. He was advised to offer
sacrifice with an adult goat, plenty of cotton wool and money. He obeyed.
Without
knowing it, he was the next victim of this hole. As he was passing near the
hole, he slipped and fell into the hole. The woolen cotton with which he had
offered as an ebo was used by Esu Odara to cushion the hollow and he was not
injured in any way when he fell into the hollow. That's how he was able to
survive the fall. Those who Fall inside the Abys after him, never again
died in the hole. This was how the hollow became inoffensive any more and the
people survived the fall.

Helping yourself as you can observe from the extract of the Irosun meji above.

Ifa
advises some members of the same family or generation to offer ebo against
misunderstandings. There exists the need for them to identify something that
they use or have in common as joint ownership in common and which has
become the object of debate and controversy. When they identify it, they need
to stop using it for at least a period of time ,or avoid dispute in it sharing,
as this could bring the separation to the family. This could be a family land,
a house, business or anything else of joint inheritance. All of them without
exception need to stop using whatever was, so that peace and harmony can be
restored in the family.
There
is a need for the whole family to offer ebo with an adult goat, to feed Esu a
rooster, and to their common parent with an adult goat. Offering this ebo is
important, but not as important as listening to the advice of Ifa as it is
contained in this stanza. Of this, Ifa says:
Beere

Ifa
says that happiness, peace and harmony must be restored within the house of the
person for whom this Odu is revealed. There is a strong need for those involved
listen to the advice of Ifa.
XV
Ifa
also says that every Ajogun will be removed away from home of the
person for whom this Odu is revealed.
Ifa
says that no blood should be spilled on Ifa and that is as long as it continues
to do this, so it will be long the persistence of the problem. Ifa says that
all blood on Ifa must be cleaned and in its place; Palm oil should be spilled
on it. After this, kola nuts should be left for Ifa. That is all that Ifa needs
to drive away the Ajogun in the home and life of this person . On this,
Ifa says:
Ara

The
stem of Olojee Okoso
Who

Yawopa
was a descendant of sculptors whose family business was carving wood in varou
shapes and designs. They specialized in carving images of the Masquerade,
pillars of houses and places, furniture of the home, images of all the Deities
and others. For these works of art the family was highly respected and honour.
One
day, however, Yawopa took off to discover that most carved sculptures were
making strange noises. Some were knocking over objects on top of them. Others
had fallen while others had broken in two. He had also had a series of
nightmares. He had gone to several Babalawos to solve this problem. The Awo
told him that he was sleeping and walking in the middle of Ajogun. However, the
Awo felt that ifa really needed kola nuts to solve this problem for him, but
the awo saw that there was nothing to eat at that time Instead the Awo
recommend a goat. Yawopa brought the goat but the problem persisted. He killed
several more animals without any solution to his problem.
This
had been happening before Yawopa was introduced to the earlier Awo. The Awo
analyzed his problem for them. They also asked him to offer ebo with a rooster
and money. He was asked to go to his house and split two kola nuts for his Ifa.
He did so. Surprisingly, all the Ajoguns left home. His life returned to
normal. He lived the rest of his life a happy man.

of those in whom he or she trusted for a solution to their problems. Ifa says
that he or she will meet those who will assist him and that his problems will
disappear. Ifa however warns those dishonest people that their day is at hand.
LESSON
OR COMMENTARIES FROM ODU IFA IROSUN MEJI above
*.It
is instructive that every practicing babalawo should take notice of the warning
in this odu and put it to use. those who are meant to ameliorate people
problems should not compound it. if ifa ask for only kola nut Don demands cow
or goat from clients.
XVI.
Ifa
says that there is a woman where this Ifa is revealed who is very fashion
conscious. She believes in her beauty too much to the point that she feels that
any man can be manipulated to comply with anything she wants at all times. She
believes that good presence is what counts in this life. For this reason,she is
found in front of any mirror looking at trying to determine how well she is at
any time. Ifa says she considers her biggest concern is how pretty she looks,
smells and feels. Anything that could increase his good looks is pursued with
incredible vigor. Ifa warns though that this will never bring her any reward
since there is no future in that.
Ifa
says that this lady should calm down, find a mate that suits her and marry,to
have her own son. Ifa says that her, wealth, her good looks, her good smell and
her general well-being are her future children. Ifa says that without children,
she will live a miserable life in the future. In light of this wisdom, Ifa says
she needs to offer ebo with 4 rats, 4 fish, 2 hens and money. She also needs to
venerate Esu with a rooster and money. After this all your cosmetics, mirrors,
lipstick, eyelashes, talcs, perfumes, etc., need to be dropped on the altar of
Esu. This is very essential here. On this, a stanza in Irosun-Meji says:
Awo
si’ji ko se gberegede
Ka
fi ri’ran amodun
Dia
fun Olomo Awo-jigi
To
f’eyiti m’oju ekun sunrahun omo
Ebo
ni won ni ko se
Translation:
No
matter how much the mirror can be
Can
not be used to predict the future
Those
were the declarations of Ifa for Olomo Awojigi, the mirrors
When
she is regretting her inability to make children
She
was advised to offer ebo
The
lady to whom Ifa refers to as Awojigi, the lover of mirrors in this Odu, was a
surprisingly beautiful person she was well proportioned and with the right
body, with valuable elements in the right places. His smile was tempting, his
inviting appearance; Their movements, seductive; And their gestures,
suggestive. Actually his whole body was captivating. She was very aware of his
appearance. For this reason, she usually spent a considerable amount of time in
front of the mirror to make sure she continued to look good and smell good. No
cosmetics were expensive enough for her to use.
Instead
of using her grace that Olodumare gave her for the common good, she saw his
possession as a means of enslaving men. She used to flirt and seduce men, ups
and downs at her side, whenever she needed anything, she was beginning to plan
how she would twist her arm to her various lovers to get what she wanted. When
she was asked to marry, she considered the idea as a major disadvantage. She
reasoned that when she get married she was going to be the strong arm in a
single man's house and she might not be able to flaunt her beauty to the
admiration of other people. She rejected the suggestion; She considered her
friends and colleagues who married like fools. She usually advised them not to
marry at all, to be permanently in the house of a man cooking, sweeping,
washing, obeying stupid laws of a man, exhausting and spoiling his hands, nails
and figure with the chores of the house.
After
the advice though, his friends were getting married. They began to have
children, males and females. Awojigi remained single and without commitment. By
the time her contemporaries became proud mothers of four, five children, she
had none. By this time Awojigi was in his early forties.
As
a result of Awojigi's attitude toward life in general and men in particular, the
gemerald public began to give her social distance. If any man approached
hEE for a serious relationship, others will called them and warned
them against such a move. They have saw some men whom Awojigi had ruined
over the years. Such men were quick to retreat. For when she was 40 years old,
she had become a lonely woman.
One
day, Awojigi stood in front of the mirror as was his usual practice. She took
an intense look at herself and discovered that she was getting old, she was so
fearful for her and for her future. She was realistic enough to know that with
her lifestyle, without her beauty, she had no future. She began to seriously
paralyse. She began to develop headaches and wrinkles. She was getting
older and older every day. She became a sad woman.
Shortly
after this encounter with reality, some of her friends in the neighborhood whom
she had considered until now as fools began to invite her to the wedding
parties of her children. Some were inviting her to her graduation ceremonies.
Suddenly she realized that those friends of hers had set them up to build
relatively stable homes for themselves. They were happy and happy. This made
her realize that her friends had not been fools after all; She was the great
stupid.
One
day a friend of hers gave birth to a pair of twins as her first
childbirth and wanted to marry her children, the two females with another pair
of twin from another of her contemporaries, invited her to the ceremony. All
his friends were there with their husbands and children. Awojigi was alone.
Those who had not seen her for a long time began to ask about her husband and
children. She was embarrassed to tell them that she did not have any. As the
ceremony continued, Awojigi went to a corner and wept bitterly.
There
and then, she decided to marry and have children, she was however from the fact
that men fled as a result of her attitude toward them and that she was not as
attractive as she was before.
In
order to find a solution to her problem, she went to Babalawo previously
mentioned for Ifa consultation: Could she be able to get married
now? Would she be able to have her own children? Wpull she be happy as her
friends? Would she have respect and honor as her friends? The Awo told her that
she had almost ruined her life as a result of pursuing trivial things at the
expense of future security. She was told that she was still not too late for
her to mend her way though. She was advised to take the matter of securing a
home seriously so that she could have her own children. She was also asked to
offer ebo with 4 rats, 4 fish, 2 hens and money. He was also advised to
venerate Esu with a rooster and money. The Awo told her to go and bring all her
cosmetics and all the other things she used to highlight her beauty. She did.
All the ebo was offered and the cosmetics were put on the altar of Esu. She
then went to her house.
Before
long, she met a man who was interested in her. Soon after, they got married.
She became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful girl. The baby was truly like
her. She began to admire the work of Olodumare in her baby. She was so proud of
her baby. She then realized that no mirror was as good as one's own Child. The
baby was more beautiful and more attractive than she. She was then singing and
dancing and giving praise to Olodumare for all things.

to consult Ifa. They consulted Ifa and said, Baba! The dream means that you
should offer a sacrifice because of death? Ifa says you should use plantains in
the sacrifice. You should also use fish and rats to venerate Ifa. Ifa
says He will deliver this person from the hands of Death. That is how the
sacrifice should be performed. The conflict was overcome. This is what Irosun
Meji says.
